Sharing a note from a customer that recently used our sodium free Featherweight Baking Powder for the first time:

 

Hello,
I recently ordered the Featherweight Baking Powder. My grandmother, who lives
with us, has Congestive Heart Failure. Having her around has made all of us
more conscience of how much salt we consume. As a result, we as a family are
attempting to reduce our overall consumption of sodium. As a recent pastry
school graduate, I was concerned about trying to replace traditional baking
powder with the sodium free version. Would there be an unpleasant chemical
aftertaste? Would the texture of my baked goods suffer? All the items I have
made so far have been stellar in quality! Pancakes, cornbread, biscuits, all
have been perfect! Moist, tender and flavorful. They taste EXACTLY the same
as when I use traditional baking powder.
I would not hesitate to use this product in a professional setting and I
will never go back to traditional baking powder at home. On behalf of my
grandmother, and our family, thank you for this product. It has made it
pleasurable for my grandmother to eat again. (No more not being able to eat
the sweets she loves due to high sodium content.) It has made it fun for me
to bake for her again, knowing I am not giving her something that will harm
her. As a pastry chef, I am excited to be able to offer a lower salt
alternative to customers who might otherwise not be able to partake of the
goodies that are so central to life celebrations!
Sincerely,
Michelle

 

 

Understanding sodium level terms

On Healthy Heart Market we often use terms to indicate what level of sodium is in a product. We only sell low, very low, and no sodium foods. However knowing the distinction between very low, and low can make a difference in what you purchase. So here is a table explaining the label used to define these product's sodium levels.

 

 

 

 

News article of the day

In the News: Low sodium recommendations and recipes

2/24/2011

Lauren Holt

The new 2010 Dietary Guidelines, revealed at the end of January, have a few changes in store for the recommended diets of the America populace. One of the most difficult recommendations to abide by may be the new salt restrictions. According to a recent Washington Post article, the new recommended salt dosage calls for nearly half of the American public (any at risk for high blood pressure or other health problems) to limit themselves to 1,500 milligrams of salt each day (about 2/3 of a teaspoon). The current average salt consumption among Americans over the age of 2 is 3,400 milligrams daily.

The stated reason for this change is that high levels of sodium intake have been linked to significant health risks. According to another article, the Salt Institute has questioned that link and argues that this new reduced sodium intake may actually have negative health effects as people attempt to eat more food overall in order to meet their accustomed desire for salt.

It’s true that sodium is important to the daily functions of the human body, but the current average American diet, full of restaurant and heavily-processed foods, contains excessively high amounts of sodium. Salt has been so highly valued as to be a cause for war in the last several hundred years of human history, but it’s probably safe to say that the current era marks a peak of actual salt consumption. Part of the reason for this is that we have trained our palates to recognize and crave salt as a primary source of flavor. Washington Post's Tim Carman’s attempt to stick to the new low-sodium guidelines revealed a further complication: very few people actually know how much salt they could be consuming. This lack of awareness extends even to those who prepare the food, such as chefs and restaurant employees. During his week-long effort, Mr. Carman found that he missed the taste of salt with nearly every bite he took and that eating out was nearly impossible—even if he could get a meal with no or only a very tiny amount of salt, it did not have the flavor he wanted. He reports that he often felt hungry, as he was eating less in order to meet the limits, just as the Salt Institute argues—but he says, in retrospect, that such hunger could probably have been abated by an increased consumption of fruits and vegetables (another of the new guidelines).

When someone is diagnosed with a heart condition or disease, they often feel confused and uneducated about what is actually wrong. But by learning more about the disease, they can find ways to better take care of themselves, and to discuss options with doctors and medical personel. Today, we highlight Congestive Heart Failure. Heart Failure, also known as Congestive Heart Failure, simpy put is "a condition in which the heart can no longer pump enough blood to the rest of the body." For those customers of ours that suffer from this, you may be interested in reading this article on Pubmed Health. It is a great starting point for those who may be interested in more information or have been recently diagnosed.
